Economics for us in today's America in two easy charts, a.k.a. The Second Coming

Chart #1:


Chart #2:

minimum-wage-share-median-wage-graphic-01.png.608 (608×1349)

Think there's any correlation?  People who view themselves as middle class are declining precipitously while we lag markedly behind the rest of the world in paying a living wage.  And there's not a lot of hope right now that either of these numbers will improve.

And, eventually we will learn (to steal a line from "The Second Coming" by W. B. Yeats):  the center cannot hold.

Peace,
